Wow! It's been a breakneck, busy, bananas kind of week behind-the-scenes here at Push Square Towers, so apologies if our usual programming schedule has been a bit all over the place. The exciting news is that Monday's bureaucracy paved the way for Friday's exuberance, so this author is sitting here with a renewed sense of enthusiasm right now. Still, what better way to belatedly celebrate the arrival of Saturday than with your weekly prescribed dose of WAYP?

My head is swimming with ideas and other such stupidly awesome things right now, so I guess I'm going to need something to bring me down from my totally-not-sugar-induced high. Assassin's Creed Unity: Dead Kings should do the job, because it's failing to resurrect my interest in this shoddy sandbox game.

It's always a sad time when you finish off your Christmas games, but that's what I'll be doing this weekend. I'll butcher a few more orcs in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, grab some endgame loot in Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition, and then it's off to Fabletown to start a new adventure in The Wolf Among Us. Hopefully I can solve its mystery quick, before 2015's review duty extravaganza begins in earnest.

I've almost completely managed to topple my 2014 backlog, but Far Cry 4's dense jungles still stand in my way. As such, that'll probably take up any spare time that I get this weekend. If not, I might dive back into the absurdly addictive arcade action of Woah Dave!.

With Dragon Age: Inquisition rushed to completion, my platter is free for all of the niche titles that are flooding in these first few months. I'm still playing Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation, as it's Dragon Age's polar opposite, and a good wind down from the massive commitment. I did end up buying Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, so I think that I will hit it quick before it becomes part of the backlog.

Now that I've finally finished Dragon Age: Inquisition, it's time to dip once more into the backlog and make a start on The Evil Within. I'll also probably try and finish Bayonetta 2, a fantastic game that I only got about halfway through before getting completely swallowed up by my duties in the Inquisition.

I'm taking opportunity during the relative calm of January to reflect upon my favourite games from last year. Excluding a couple of well-appreciated remastered titles on the PlayStation 4, inFAMOUS: Second Son was in my top three PlayStation picks of 2014, so it's an apt time to see if I can beat inFAMOUS: First Light in a single sitting this Sunday evening.
Joey Thurmond, Reviewer
It's a bleak weekend for me since my face will be stuck in schoolbooks for many an hour. I did finish inFAMOUS: First Light recently, which is a nice piece of DLC to pick up for free if you're a PlayStation Plus member. Anyway, if I do have some time to spare, I'll be aiming to plug some hours into Transistor or The Evil Within.
Our gobs have finished flapping, so it's time for you to animate those perfectly square jaw lines of yours. What will be keeping your consoles busy this weekend? Say it like you mean it in the comments section below.

WHAT TIME DO YOU CALL THIS, SAMMY?
I'm with you Taylor, this is appalling. Now please reply to my messages.
@ShogunRok She's too busy responding to mine.
This is getting creepy...
@get2sammyb How does she feel about your constant gif usage?
@ShogunRok She says that she finds it endearing as it shows that she's always on my mind.
ANYWHO...!
... I think I must be missing something with the Taylor Swift talk lol
But yeah, games. Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros on Wii U, Rayman Legends, Diablo 3, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, and Call of Duty Ghosts on PS3, and Forza 4 on 360. Been a busy couple of weeks and I have a long weekend going on, so all this is long over due.
Finally able to finish Assassin creed unity platinum, and finish also Dead Kings even not with 100%
next, i'll go trough my backlogs starts from Sleeping Dogs, while the new game will be Resident evil HD
I've been testing out Playstation Now with the seven day free trial. The first game I tried was Siren: Blood Curse and the streaming worked without a hitch, I was pretty impressed. With the streaming. Not so much with the game. Then I went to try another game and couldn't connect to the service, which reminded me how unreliable the Playstation Network is.
Between the unreliability of the network and the currently very underwhelming game selection, this just isn't worth the asking price. More games will be added of course, but unless Sony also invests in improving its network this is an idea better in theory than in practice.
@divinelite Getting the Platinum in Unity is an impressive achievement. Ubisoft should personally come around to your house and present with you with a life-size replica of Arno carved out of marble or something.
Seriously, though, that's some dedication - there are so many collectibles!
@get2sammyb thanks, yeah that platinum is faaaaaaaaaaarrrr too many things to do to compare with my Infamous Second Son platinum, haven't been able to platinum either of Assassin Creed games in the past too.
Overally, it's a good game, I never like the story wrapping of Assassin Creed games for the endings, but Unity after numerous patches is quite fun to play.
The Wolf Among Us
A friend of mine actually got me Assassin's Creed 1 & 2, Batman Arkham Asylum, and Uncharted 2. I've been playing them at small intervals because I don't want to tear through them too quickly. I'll play AC1 tonight, and Batman & Uncharted tomorrow.
@DerMeister that's an awesome friend! And some awesome games too!
I'll be playing through Bayonetta 2 before I have to go back to school next week.
Looking at Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition, and Giving Final Fantasy A Realm Reborn a try, since i read that it doesnt require a subscription so long as you have ps plus.
@GhastlyMagician It still requires a subscription past the first free month, unfortunately.
I finished up The Swapper this week, really enjoyed it. I probably wont play anything till Resident Evil Remastered unlocks. Then again maybe ill give Fat Princess Piece of Cake on Vita a try.
@GhastlyMagician Yeah, I'm afraid it does require a subscription. It doesn't require PlayStation Plus though, as far as I know, and it is both beautiful and very fun. Hope you enjoy your first free month!
Uncharted 2- Gaught it on sale
Persona 4 Golden- Caught it on sale as well
LittleBigPlanet Vita- Caught it on sale too
Dead Space 3- Me and my friend is addicted to this game.
Destiny, inquisition, and the swapper. For some reason the swapper made me all nostalgic for the dead space trilogy. Wishing I could get all three on my ps4.
@DerMeister I played arkham asylum a while ago when I got it for free with ps+, one of the best games I played last year! Uncharted 2 is pretty fun too, the characters are done really well. Have fun!
Better late than never but that's 👌.
Dragon Age Inquisition (PS4)- Just started a new game as a rogue dual wield. I was a mage , but it was boring to me.
PS Now - Uncharted and Ratchet & Clank are the games I'll be playing. I think the service has a lot of potential, just need to add more games.
Finished Dragon Age Inquisition after a good, solid 80+ hours.
Wii U: Fire Emblem (GBA)
And I'm so totally sucked back into Fire Emblem again! Then, I saw the new trailer for the next Fire Emblem on 3DS, and I spazzed a fit it looked so good lol.
But time has come to a standstill for ol' JaxonH, because the almighty Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate demo has dropped. There is nothing else- only Monster Hunter.
Finally completed the story mode in Diablo III Ultimate Evil Edition so I will be starting adventure mode. Also managed to score a Monster Hunter 4 demo so I will be checking that out on the 3DS
I'll be playing Atelier: Esha and Logy and Destiny. I'm hooked on both of them. Atelier will probably take more of my time though. Today it took all of it, and now it's posed to take most of it again tomorrow. It's just addictive. I'm playing as Logy, and I just finished my second assignment. Anyone else a fan of Escha and Logy round here?
@XFsWorld If I may ask, what did you get if for on sale? I'm just curious since it's already dirt cheap used. You're in for a treat though. It's a truely great game. Make sure you pick 3 after you play it. It's even better.
Inquisition still for me. New ps3 means a thousand GT6 updates that will take eons to DL and install.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf (3DS) - Still playing this.
A Kappa's Trail (DSi) - Some game I got for free because of Club Nintendo. It's okay.
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Demo (3DS) - I haven't played much of this series, but I do want to get into it. I'm liking the demo, but I'm not sure if I'll buy the game day one because Majora's Mask 3D releases on the same day.
Pokemon Alpha Sapphire (3DS) - Haven't played this in a few days, but I plan on starting the post-game content and making a proper team soon.
I have a ton of games in my backlog to get around to (even more now because of the recent PSN sale), but I probably won't do so for a while. I'll probably start playing the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection once I'm done with the games I mentioned above.
@Jaz007 Well, uh. I've already played 3 and Golden Abyss. This and The first Uncharted are the ones I'm missing. Yeah I know I can get a preowned copy of 1 & 2 for about $5 but I like buying games new or supporting the devs.
Assassins Creed Unity: Dead Kings & Dragon Age Inquisition
Walking dead season one on PS now.. I would like to add I love PS now
@Madd_Hatter401: As someone who didn't own a PS3 I am really enjoying PS Now. I finally got a chance to see what all the hype was about with Uncharted.
I'm going to playvthe evolve technical test (beta) and the walking dead s2.
Completed the main story in Dead Rising 3 yesterday, now it's onto the DLC then the waiting game until Tuesday when REmake unlocks.
Finished Steamworld Dig yesterday and going through Sound Shapes today - some of these death mode levels are pretty tricky, but should have it down by the end of the day
I'm TRYING to play LBP3 on PS3 but I cant create anything or do the pause-rewind in pop-it.
I'm aware this is a known problem, nothing new, but the back-up restore profile fix didnt work for me so Im still stuck. Good thing I have 1 more day of football to keep me occupied.
@get2sammyb - I should have used that TS gif for LBP3, thing seems to be on par with AC for glitchy messes, pathetic indeed.
@rjejr I keep hearing how broken LBP3 is, but I honestly had zero issues on the PS4 aside from some very minor bugs. Really weird.
@get2sammyb - I think there is a serious issue with importing the profiles from LBP1 and 2 on the PS3, probably something they couldnt adequatelty test for with all the variables - I had all my LBP2 purchaes saved but I didnt back up my profile for LBP2 in the game data folder before my HDD got wiped. I also had both the disc version and DL PS+ version of LBP2, so that might have caused the issue? Lots of variables.
You wouldn't have LBP1 and 2 profile data on your PS4 though. Maybe in the cloud which wax probably easier to test.
I'll be completing tear away, securing another platinum and then I'll move onto sly 2 via psnow
@Tasuki then ps now is perfect for you! I had a PS3 and I'm still loving it. Glad you are enjoying uncharted its awesome.
I'm currently playing Dead Space 3 (PS3), I just completed Chapter 05: Expect Delays.
